Blocking Proxies..

I blocked Facebook and MySpace at home in the living room. I did so by editing the hosts file and adding entries like

Code:
127.0.0.1            facebook.com
127.0.0.1            www.facebook.com
.. etc
This works, but you can get around that using a website proxy such as studyhallhelp.com. Is there a way to block ALL proxies in one shot or not possible? I've already blocked studyhallhelp.com, but doing a search in Google for "facebook proxy" brings up a lot! I hope I don't have to do it all one by one.

You could prolly also add something into your firewall/router to block sites like that....
